  1. Alias files/ links to files

    Oftentimes, a file has more than just one "right place" within a folder structure.
    For example, if you have a folder for the HR-department and a folder for the legal-team, both teams need to access the subfolder "employment contracts".
    On local Windows Explorer or Apple Finder it is possible to create alias-files that link to the "main-file", so you can access a file from multiple locations.
    Such a feature is not available in Box. Since it is cruicial for files that needs to be accessed from different locations/ teams, I am asking you to implement this feature.

    Thank you!

  2. Separate folder move and copy function

    As far as i understand, the move and copy folder function in Box Web is combined from a role perspective. That means a user must have Co-Owner rights to move a folder but also to copy a folder. I agree that moving a folder means deleting the folder on the source location which may need elevated role. But copying a folder only needs read access on the source folder. So it would be great to separate these two functions and make the copy function available to users who have editor role on the target folder and have at least previewer…

  3. Movement between Tenant

    Currently when you make a movement between a Box tenant, based on Folder and File, the behaviour is different.

    Folder: it will be an error
    File: it will be moved without any message

    I would like it to be error for Files movement and also copying too.

  6. Need the ability for users to rename shared folders that will not affect the name for other users.

    Honestly the entire functionality of the shared folders within box could use an upgrade. We switched from Dropbox to Box because we thought it had more features and better for business, but it blows my mind that we could rename shared folders in Dropbox on a user level, and it does not affect other users that share the folder, but Box won't allow that? Make it very difficult for individual users to customize their folder structure and such in a way that works for them. It's way to restrictive.

  7. Remove File Size Limit

    File sizes only continue to grow as video quality improves due to better technology. Our video teams have some files that are 700 GB or more. We are unable to use Box as a backup solution because of the file size limit.

  8. Folder Under Retention Should Not Be Purged From Trash

    When a folder is deleted from trash that contains files under retention policy it causes issues because the files are no longer visible to the customer to recover them. This happens if the trash admin setting is set to purge all trash in a certain time period.

  11. If I move a file, let me leave a hint to the new location in the original folder

    When a shared file or folder is renamed and/or moved to a different folder, retain a hint in its original location that it's been moved so that "Search in folder" can helpfully inform that the file/folder has been moved or renamed, and provide a link to the new location. The user does not need to see the current name of the file, or its new location. When they follow the link, they access the file/folder according to how it's shared at its new location.

    An expandable "Recently moved" area in each folder could provide a compact list of files and…

  12. Ability to edit file request

    I created a file request with 3 different file request upload boxes (videos, images, quotes), but didn't know that users MUST upload something into the first box or they would get an error. It would be VERY helpful to either be able to edit a file request (so I can change it to just one upload box) or allow people to upload into ANY of the file request boxes.

  13. Bring back WebDav support

    Please bring back WebDav support. It had better performance than Box Drive or Sync and was easier to setup for Linux or Windows.

  14. Ability to recognize shared links with passwords

    I would like to see the icon change to show whether the shared link has a password or not, so that I can easily tell from the file list whether the link has a password or not.
    共有リンクにパスワードが設定されているかどうか簡単に分かるよう、パスワードなしとパスワードありでアイコンを変えてファイル一覧からでも分かるようにしてほしい。

  17. Email to Box

    Box to email is a powerful feature when combined with email services. If you would like to automatically forward emails when using Gmail, its either all or nothing (all the emails would have to be sent, or none).

    This is due to the fact that Gmail requires a verification code to be entered when creating an email rule to addresses off the Gmail account domain.

    If there would be a way to read the body of the message for the verification code, this could reduce issues with forwarding and the volume of messages forwarded to Box.

  19. COPY / MOVE API events to include origin file's ID, name and location

    Currently there is no way to know which file was copied/moved in Box Events API. It is only possible to see the destination file name and location, and only if the file was copied/moved within one Box instance. This presents a major challenge for customers who want to build custom programs that monitor copy/move activity both inside and outside their Box instances.

  20. Redirect for URL Should Always Fire After Box Subdomain Change

    After changing your Box subdomain, the URL redirect should always fire, regardless of logged in status, sharing permissions on the file, etc. Currently, it will not fire if the file is shared with "anyone with the link" and the user is logged into their Box account.
